La banqueroute (original)

Oh, j’ai fait une banqueroute
J’ai fait une banqueroute

Ma femme court après moé, a m’dit mon cher Gédéon
Vends ta ch’mise pis ton pantalon (bis)
Mais j’veux que l’violon reste à la maison (bis)
J’ai vendu mes souliers ainsi que mon violon
Ma femme court après moé, a m’dit mon cher Gédéon
Vends tes souliers pis tes chaussons (bis)
Mais j’veux que l’violon reste à la maison (bis)
Ah j’ai vendu ma vache ainsi que mon violon
Ma femme court après moé, a m’dit mon cher Gédéon
Vends ta vache pis ton gros cochon (bis)
Mais j’veux que l’violon reste à la maison (bis)
J’ai vendu ma jument ainsi que mon violon
Ma femme court après moé, a m’dit mon cher Gédéon
Vends ta jument pis ton étalon (bis)
Mais j’veux que l’violon reste à la maison (bis)
Ah j’ai vendu ma cruche ainsi que mon violon
Ma femme court après moé, a m’dit mon cher Gédéon
Vends ta cruche pis ton flacon (bis)
Mais j’veux que l’violon reste à la maison (bis)
Ah j’ai vendu ma flûte ainsi que mon violon
Ma femme court après moé, a m’dit mon cher Gédéon
Vends ta flûte pis ton accordéon (bis)
Mais j’veux que l’violon reste à la maison (bis)

(translation)

Oh, I went bankrupt
I went bankrupt
Oh I sold my shirt and my violin
My wife runs after me, my dear Gideon told me
Sell ​​your shirt and your pants (twice)
But I want the violin to stay at home (twice)
I sold my shoes and my violin
My wife runs after me, my dear Gideon told me
Sell ​​your shoes and your slippers (twice)
But I want the violin to stay at home (twice)
Ah I sold my cow and my violin
My wife runs after me, my dear Gideon told me
Sell ​​your cow and your fat pig (twice)
But I want the violin to stay at home (twice)
I sold my mare and my violin
My wife runs after me, my dear Gideon told me
Sell ​​your mare and your stallion (twice)
But I want the violin to stay at home (twice)
Ah I sold my jug and my violin
My wife runs after me, my dear Gideon told me
Sell ​​your pitcher and your bottle (twice)
But I want the violin to stay at home (twice)
Ah I sold my flute and my violin
My wife runs after me, my dear Gideon told me
Sell ​​your flute and your accordion (twice)
But I want the violin to stay at home (twice)
